Thanks for asking, Cap. He's not doing so well. The DM continues it's course. His back legs are completely useless now. He still scoots himself around the house using his front legs but we can tell that it's getting harder for him. His voice is weaker and he's starting to have problems controlling his bm's. He's well into stage two of the disease now and has been fighting it for 2 years. Dogs never go past the three year mark with DM and usually don't last much longer than 2.5 years due the loss of bladder and bowel control.
He's still Dingo personality wise and still has his sense of humor. Last night DH went to help him outside and Dingo just didn't want to go.(we try to keep him on a schedule) DH had him up in his lift assist and Dingo kept trying to pull him backwards. He finally flopped down on the floor so his butt was in the air and and his front end on the ground and he was just wearing the happiest grin on his face like he was saying 'don't want to can't make me!'
It's just so hard to watch such a good dog decline the way he is. Like Marek's the sooner somebody finds a cure for it the better I will like it.
